Cerro Gordo, N.C. (July 26, 2011) - After skipping last week’s race at Nashville Superspeedway, the RBR Enterprises team and driver Clay Rogers are ready to tackle Lucas Oil Raceway. After working on the truck for two weeks, the team enters this week’s race with a renewed sense of purpose for the remainder of the season. Rogers is currently in 19th place in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) points.

RBR Enterprises at Lucas Oil Raceway

RBR Enterprises will be making its second trip to the Lucas Oil Speedway in NCWTS action in the AAA Insurance 200. Last year, the team finished 12th in this race with driver Dennis Setzer.

Clay Rogers at Lucas Oil Raceway

Quoting Driver Clay Rogers

On Nashville: As a driver, you always want to race, but it was a needed regrouping for the team. Our goal at the beginning of the year was to run 12 to 15 races and we’ve already run 11. I think it is going to help us regain some of the good performance that we had at the beginning of the year.

On going to Lucas Oil Raceway: It’s a fun race track. There is a lot of room around the track. In the turns there are five grooves. The preferred line is out against the wall, but if you can make your truck work down low, you have an advantage. You can race ‘em like a sprint car; dive it in low and pull off some slide job passes.

Quoting Owner Ricky Benton:

On the team’s decision to skip Nashville and focus on Lucas Oil Raceway: I couldn’t be more proud of the work that these guys have done up to this point in the 2011 season. (Driver) Clay (Rogers) and this whole team have really exceeded expectations so far and I feel that by taking a step back (by not making the Nashville trip), we have made this program a lot stronger as we move forward in 2011 and beyond.
